The Western Illinois Area Agency on Aging is seeking individuals interested in planning for the needs of older adults in a 10-county area of western Illinois. Board members set policy and direction for the WIAAA and allocate more than $4 million in federal and state funds for senior programs. Openings currently exist in Bureau, Knox, LaSalle, McDonough and Mercer counties. Board meetings are conducted on the fourth Thursday of each month at the WIAAA offices in Rock Island. Mileage and lunch are furnished.
Potential members should be interested in programs for persons over 60 years of age. Actual involvement with such programs is a plus. The agency is seeking individuals currently serving on other boards and/or those with a background in business, but all interested persons are encouraged to apply. Interested parties should contact Janice M. Stille at 1-800-322-1051 for an application.
